[MOSAIC] assessment

[stacy hall]

Kerry-
  Since the use of comprehension strategies can be difficult to assess, you have a large task on your hands.
  I work with students identified as having reading difficulties and we work on the use of strategies in class.  I use the strategy interview in the "Mosaic of Thought" book.  This has given me valuable feedback about the students use of strategies, and has been very helpful in planning lessons.

  Hi - 

I guess I have a few separate questions for the group concerning reading 
assessment. First, how do you assess reading comprehension and your students' 
strategy use? 

My school is currently taking a look at how we assess overall reading 
comprehension and the students' use of the comprehension strategies. We have been 
charged with creating common assessments that will given by each Lang. Arts 
teacher (to each student) across the grade level. Therefore, my second 
question is: does anyone's school have anything like this? 

Thirdly, does anyone have any ideas for how this could look at the 5th grade 
level? 

We've begun brainstorming, but I am looking for some fresh ideas. I'd love 
to hear how you measure your students' overall comprehension and strategy 
use. 

Thanks in advance,
Kerry/5th
